An expression of appreciation appeared in Su Zhan's eyes.

Chen Bao is indeed of Han Chinese descent; his indomitable spirit is truly rare.

Moreover, he had a premonition that Chen Bao would definitely achieve great things in the future and become a powerful force for the Han people in their fight against the grassland people.

This time, Su Zhan led his men to rescue the Wild Ancient Gang. Although they arrived late, they managed to preserve their bloodline. Having a spark of hope prevents people from losing hope.

Now it's up to them.

Su Zhan then left some men to help them rebuild their homes, while the rest of the men returned to Stone City with him.

Now that they have killed the first prince, he doesn't know how the other Han Chinese on the grasslands are doing. He needs to coordinate all the intelligence and make the most accurate judgment to prepare for the next move of Stone City.

Finally, Su Zhan led his men directly back to Stone City.

The scene inside Stone City remained peaceful, unchanged despite the conflicts on the grasslands.

This peace has lasted for a long time, all thanks to the Stone City Dragons for protecting it.

If the Mighty Dragon Gang hadn't taken control of Stone City's territory, the Han Chinese here would still be living the same lives as before, without any change whatsoever.

Therefore, everyone cherishes everything they have now, and everyone lives life very earnestly.

Meanwhile, at the Fierce Dragon Gang's base, Bai Zhanqiu was earnestly discussing with his managers everything that was happening at the front.

Bai Zhanqiu now understands everything that happened on Su Zhan's journey. His eyes gleamed with excitement. He never expected that Su Zhan would be able to handle all of this this time.

Although a heavy price was paid, how can war be fought without casualties? This is the fate of mankind, something that cannot be helped, so we can only accept this outcome.

What everyone needs to do now is to immediately reorganize the soldiers, allow them to rest and recuperate, and prepare for the upcoming battle.

After all, the entire grassland is not yet settled, and everything is only just beginning.

When Bai Zhanqiu saw Su Zhan return, he walked over excitedly and said, "Su Zhan, you have really done a great service this time. If it weren't for you, we Han people would have lost one of our own."

Su Zhan's expression softened slightly, and he finally said, "It's just helping our compatriots; it's what we should do."

I arrived too late; they had suffered a fierce attack and probably wouldn't recover for a while, so we'll have to rely on ourselves for the rest.

Bai Zhanqiu nodded, then said to Su Zhan, "Next, we need to sort out everything that happened here and reorganize everything that happened in the past."

Su Zhan nodded and then joined the meeting.

The meeting was now halfway through, and the main topic was the division of power in the grasslands.

They have eliminated the nearest grassland prince, but the princes in other regions have not yet been eliminated. Taking concubines and trading with the grassland princes is a very long process that requires the participation of more people to resolve everything.

What Su Zhan and his team need to do now is to communicate with the Han Chinese tribes and then bring everything together.

After all, the Han people are an alliance, which is their most important advantage.

Those grassland people, though brave and powerful, were ultimately a disorganized mess. As long as they remained disorganized, it was no use to them organizing any force, because even the strongest force would be futile, as they had no concept of unity.

Since they don't know how to unite, they are destined to never be as powerful as the Han people.

The Han people are not only resilient and enduring, but also extremely united.

This is why Han Chinese tribes have been able to thrive for so long, and it is also the key to how Han Chinese tribes have been able to change everything.

Therefore, they must continue to leverage this advantage and unite the strength of the Han people to fight against those nomadic people from the grasslands.

People of the grasslands can fight amongst themselves, dismantle each other, stand idly by, or even have greater ambitions.

They brought the entire grassland under their control because they harbored resentment towards internal strife.

The Han people on the grasslands were completely different. They were already at a disadvantage on the grasslands, suffering greatly and enduring immense pain.

If given hope, they will cherish everything they have, just as the Han Chinese tribes will forever unite and unite all their compatriots to attack those arrogant and barbaric grassland people.

Now they are discussing the Han Chinese tribe to their right.

The Han Chinese tribe was not attacked by the grassland princes at this time, but they still wanted to eliminate the prince who belonged to their territory.

This prince was extremely powerful, yet he maintained a neutral stance.

He also wanted to reap the benefits without lifting a finger and end it all, since the people of the grasslands inherently desire to reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

Even though he had hundreds of thousands of troops, and even though the grasslands were already in complete chaos, he remained unmoved and did not help the grassland people. He even stood by and watched as various princes were completely wiped out.

In his eyes, the Han people could not cause any trouble on the grasslands; only the great grassland people were the ultimate masters of the grasslands.

Now, Su Zhan and his men are about to take action against these arrogant grassland people.

The Han Chinese tribe next to us is called the Batian Gang. The name sounds imposing, but their strength is actually very weak.

If they were to fight this prince named Black Wolf God, that would be a pipe dream; they had no chance of winning.

Therefore, Stone City must step in to help them and quell all of this.

It is precisely because of this that Stone City has been able to unite more forces and carry forward everything about Stone City.

So today, their main topic of discussion is when to send troops to wipe out the Black Wolf God King and then support the Overlord Gang. This is their crucial objective.

Bai Zhanqiu nodded and then said, "According to the intelligence provided by Zhu Yeqing, the prince has a total of six cities under his command. Although his strength is not as great as Xue Tianlang's, each city has a large number of soldiers stationed in it."

If we were to launch an attack on their city, it would be a very fierce siege.

After listening, all the stewards nodded.

No one wanted to fight a siege, because sieges are the most brutal part of war, a battle fought entirely with human lives. Even if you win in the end, it will only be a Pyrrhic victory and will not have any real effect.

Anyone can win a Pyrrhic victory. The idea that victory can be achieved simply by killing many people, by gathering everything together, and by disregarding all life is not what anyone's original intention was.

Therefore, everyone felt that this grassland prince called Black Wolf God was a bit of a challenge, as this kind of siege warfare was really too difficult.

Even if you add up all the troops in Stone City and kill them, even if you defeat this prince called Black Wolf God, Stone City will be completely ruined, and the Overlord Gang will be completely ruined as well.

Therefore, this matter is not simple and requires careful planning. And the main purpose of today's planning is to see what unique ideas everyone has.

Bai Zhanqiu looked at all the managers and then said, "Everyone should speak freely and gather all the information together. The wisdom of the masses is the key to solving this problem today. Don't keep anything to yourself."

The managers nodded, and then fell into deep thought.

In the end, Bai Zhanqiu said, "These six cities are not easy to attack. They have 120,000 defending troops, and those wolf cubs are hiding in their tortoise shells. We must first find out their strength and then use a clever plan to take them down."

Finally, Bai Zhanqiu ordered Zhu Yeqing to mobilize his spies to investigate all areas, demanding that the investigation be thorough.

Two days later, Bamboo Leaf Green finally arrived with the intelligence.

He spread a roll of straw paper on the table and then said, "It has been discovered that the Black Wolf God's fattest lamb is in Iron Wolf Fortress on the northern route."

The sketch clearly marked a supply route, the lifeline that runs through the six cities, which was now clearly marked.

"Baturu, the garrison commander of Iron Wolf Fortress, is a heavy drinker." Zhu Yeqing pointed to the location of the wine cellar inside the fortress with his pen, "On the seventh day of each month, a wine convoy passes through the Black Dog Mountain Pass."

The garrison commander is an orphan whose entire clan was slaughtered by the Black Wolf God years ago.

Inside the tent, torches crackled and popped.

Su Zhan tapped his knuckles on the three characters "Black Dog Mountain" and said in a deep voice, "Li Ergou."

"Your subordinate is here!" Li Ergou stood up upon hearing the voice.

"Take three hundred Black Feather Riders, put on Snow Wolf Tribe fur coats, and at dawn on the seventh day, I want you to seize this batch of wine at the pass and fill Baturu's cellar."

Li Ergou's eyes gleamed: "Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Halbala suddenly stood up: "The men of our headquarters are also willing to take the order! We can ambush and kill the Wolfsburg's reinforcements."

Su Zhan shook his head: "That's not enough."

Finally, he pointed to the key to the detailed plan by the Wangting River: "Chen Bao."

The new leader of the Wild Tiger Gang immediately roared, "Present!"

"Take all the Wild Tiger Gang brothers who are still able to fight here. There's no need to engage in battle. Just plant the Royal Court's wolf flag on the mountaintop and make the Black Wolf God think that the Royal Court is going to devour him, that's all."

Bai Zhanqiu seemed to sense Su Zhan's arrangement, his pupils contracting sharply: "Are you trying to drive this lone wolf mad?"

He looked at Su Zhan's cold lips. Su Zhan said, "Only a mad wolf would break free of its cage. Order the Overlord Gang to launch a feigned attack on Blackstone City in three days, luring the Wild Wolf God's teeth to the hardest rock. I want them to watch themselves perish."

The massive war machine of Stone City once again sprang into action from its silence.

The cold wind was like a knife. At dawn on the seventh day of the lunar month, when the sky was still dark, it was the time when people were most tired.

The Black Dog Mountain Pass is a narrow and treacherous place, with steep cliffs cutting it into pieces on both sides.

A large convoy moved forward in the cold wind, its wheels groaning as they rolled on the frozen ground, the aroma of wine overpowering the chill of the wind.

This is a wine cart bound for Iron Wolf Castle, containing the life-saving elixir for General Baturu.

The convoy guards looked numb, wrapped their fur coats tighter, and their breath instantly froze.

Their days of travel, coupled with their complacency as they approached Iron Wolf Fortress, prevented them from noticing the deadly danger lurking on either side of the cliffs.

Li Ergou lay crouching behind a cold boulder, a dry blade of grass dangling from his mouth, his eyes sharp.

Behind him were three hundred elite Black Feather Riders, who had already changed into captured Snow Wolf Tribe fur coats, their faces smeared with mud and grass juice to disguise themselves, blending into the rocks silently.

The convoy slowly entered the narrowest part of the pass. Li Ergou suddenly spat out the dry grass, raised his arm high, and then swung it down abruptly: "Kill!"

There was no deafening shout, only the sudden tearing of bowstrings in the deathly silence, and arrows instantly covered the front and back of the convoy in the darkness.

Caught off guard, the guards screamed and fell to the ground, the stench of blood instantly overpowering the aroma of wine.

At the same time, dozens of agile figures slid down the cliff top using ropes, their blades flashing in the darkness, precisely and efficiently reaping the lives of the remaining resistance fighters.

The battle broke out fiercely and ended very quickly.

Moments later, all that remained at the mouth of the valley were corpses scattered everywhere, packhorses tightly bound, and an eerie smell of alcohol mixed with blood that was so strong it was impossible to dissipate.

"Hurry up!" Li Ergou shouted in a low voice.

The Black Feather Knights moved swiftly: some quickly cleared the battlefield, dragging the corpses to cover; others skillfully untied the wine carts, opened the sealed barrels, and the rich wine flowed out, soaking the frozen ground. They weren't wasting it, but rather pouring out some of the lower-quality wine to make room.

Next, several soldiers brought over prepared wooden barrels, carefully poured a special seasoning mixture of sleeping potion and paralyzing herb juice into each barrel of fine wine, sealed the barrels, and restored them to their original state.

Li Ergou carefully inspected the seals and bindings, making sure they were flawless.

They disguised themselves as defeated soldiers of the Snow Wolf tribe, quickly donned the fur coats of the dead, smeared blood on their faces, and replaced the original guards and drivers.

Soon, a wine-carrying convoy, terrified and suffering heavy losses, set off again, slowly heading towards Iron Wolf Castle.

Meanwhile, another team was advancing further north.

Chen Bao led nearly a hundred men from the Wild Bone Gang, braving the cold wind, and finally arrived at the barren mountain peak designated by Su Zhan.

The mountain is not high, but it is located at the border between the Black Wolf God's territory and the Royal Court's sphere of influence, making its position extremely sensitive.

"Raise the flag!" Chen Bao's voice was cold.

A huge, tattered yet still menacing wolf banner was unfurled with great force. The golden head on the banner was particularly striking. This was a trophy seized from Blood Wolf, a banner symbolizing the supreme authority of the royal court.

Dozens of men worked together to insert the heavy flagpole into the crevice in the rock. The cold wind howled, making the wolf flag flutter loudly.

The golden wolf banner was faintly visible in the Black Wolf God's territory below, a blatant provocation.

Hei Bao wiped the ice shards from his face, thinking to himself, "Father, folks of the Wild Bone Gang, just watch. This is just the beginning. We will use the blood and corpses of these people to pay tribute to everything we have done."

Chen Bao then led his men away, leaving the rest to his other brothers.

They were to help their brother exterminate the damned steppe people. He knew he would succeed, and those despicable steppe people would be completely wiped out from this grassland.
